Rufus, I believe you have a mistake. The explanation is below...

Sean, Kristian, OZ 341 and all the people concerned with FIRST giving too many resources to start international teams, I just want to point out a few facts:

FIRST does not support the teams in Israel at all. All the teams in Israel and the regional are run by FIRST Israel. This organization gets all it's funding from corporations and private donors, hence the " GM/Technion Israeli Regional". FIRST Israel helps start teams each year around Israel, and the rookie teams are all mentored by veteran Israeli teams. The funding for the teams (kits and extra expenses) are all from companies that give a 10,000$ donation to each team.

All the expenses for participating in the championship event (including registration, travel and hotels) are payed for by the teams and FIRST Israel (most of it comes from our parent's pockets).

Just wanted to point out those facts so you understand that the Israeli teams don't take away any resources from FIRST that would be used to start new teams in the US.

David
